THE NIGHT was going as expected.
Most of the fireworks were taking off without a hitch, live music was playing from local artists, people were enjoying the concessions. Everyone seemed content. It was perfect, really. UNTIL an uneasy feeling drifted into the air.
A group of people with ANIMAL MASKS start to close in on the main viewing area. Some people take no notice, thinking it just a prank. Others hold still with caution and pull loved ones a few inches closer. The happy laughter QUIETS, but it does lull down like how hearty laughs typically would. There is an uncomfortable air circling around the area. It lasted too long.
The MASKED PEOPLE just stared at the crowd. Some of them seemed to be armed, but the quickly darkening sky blocked most’s vision. Then the sounds of fluttering flyers start to descend and fall into the crowd. They seemed to be coming from the tops of the public buildings, but the dark night sky found it’s way to work against the on lookers. The flyer’s were quickly picked up and looked at. it read; “EXILES
WE'RE THE ONES WHO WILL DO ALL IT TAKES TO PROTECT HUMAN AND HUNTERS LIVES. THE CURRENT AGENDA THAT THE HUNTER ASSOCIATION HAS IS CAUSING DETRIMENTAL LOSS OF LIFE BECAUSE THEY'RE SCARED AND WEAK OF WHAT SUPERS WILL THINK.
WE'RE THE ONLY HUNTERS WHO AREN'T AFRAID.
PREPARE FOR A NEW ERA. GOD BLESS AMERICA.”
The few unknowing humans who were in the crowd were confused. the hunters who were not a part of the show were also confused as they realized that many of the very people they worked with were no longer patrolling the crowds as they were moments ago. They then prepare to arm themselves. THE EXILES were already moving to their next course of action though.
Just as the final wick for the fireworks finale was lit, a man who was popular among the supernatural rights community (NPC), was brought to the center of the stage. Just as the THUNDERING BOOM of fireworks sounded high in the sky, a finalizing gunshot did as well.
The sounds of chaos quickly followed. people were scrambling to leave the area as quickly as they could. people were knocked over, groups were separated. some supers took their chances to fight, other's felt it best to flee. hunter's were torn between taking down the exiles, and trying to resolve the panic.
under the cut you’ll find the various injuries some characters have received.
